About:
I grew up in Virginia and after graduating from UVA, moved to Arlington. I moved back in Richmond around 10 years ago, and today I am a Partner at Guidehouse, a management and technology consulting firm. Outside of work, family life keeps us busy. My wife, Ashley, and I love raising our two kids, staying active, playing golf, and traveling.
My daughter's hobbies and interests:
My daughter loves art, golf, tennis, lacrosse, swimming, and spending time with friends and family.
Things we enjoy doing as a family:
Outside of school, our family loves staying active together. Most weekends, you can find us spending time together, swimming, playing tennis, heading out for family bike rides, or playing around on the golf course. We also love traveling and exploring new places together whenever we get the chance—though some of our favorite family memories are just quiet weekend mornings at home, walking the dog, and catching a game together.
Favorite St. Catherine's tradition or memory:
While the big annual traditions are great, my favorite memories are honestly the simplest ones — like the morning drop-offs. Seeing the faculty and my daughter's friends greet her by name with such warmth, and watching our daughter jump out of the car, completely confident and genuinely excited to run to school, tells us everything we need to know about St. Catherine’s.
Why we chose St. Catherine's:
For our family, it came down to the community and the culture. At St. Catherine’s, our daughter is surrounded by people who encourage her to try new things, be curious, and feel proud of who she is.
